Wander Suero Signs With Astros
Free-agent right-hander Wander Suero signed a minor-league deal with the Houston Astros on Thursday. Suero will simply give the Astros some extra relief depth entering the 2024 season. The 32-year-old veteran reliever pitched in eight innings in five appearances out of the Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen in 2023 and allowed seven earned runs on six... Read More
Red Sox Involved With Shota Imanaga
The Boston Red Sox are one of many teams interested in Japanese free-agent left-hander Shota Imanaga this offseason. It's no secret that the Red Sox are in need of starting pitching heading into the 2024 campaign. They are also in on free-agent starters Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Jordan Montgomery and Seth Lugo, among others, and they could... Read More
Giants, Padres Interested In Harrison Bader
The San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres have been active on center fielders this offseason, including Harrison Bader. Korean outfielder Jung-Hoo Lee is also of interest to both the Giants and the Padres, as well as plenty of other teams. The Padres just dealt outfielders Juan Soto and Trent Grisham in a blockbuster deal... Read More
Red Sox Not Ready To Make Masataka Yoshida A Full-Time DH
There has been speculation that the Boston Red Sox want to move outfielder Masataka Yoshida to a designated hitter role, but chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has been preaching the importance of Yoshida in the field. The team still thinks Yoshida has value as a defender in the outfield, and manager Alex Cora thinks added... Read More
Red Sox Interested In Ha-Seong Kim?
Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said the team is currently engaged in conversations for a second baseman in free agency and the trade market, but it seems "more likely that would be a trade pursuit." Boston prefers a strong defensive second baseman, which makes Ha-Seong Kim, Whit Merrifield and Brandon Drury more... Read More
Mets, Pete Alonso Haven't Talked Extension
The New York Mets and All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso have not talked about a long-term contract extension yet this offseason, according to a source. Alonso notably hired Scott Boras as his agent back in October and he isn't scheduled to reach free agency until after the 2025 season. There wasn't much rush to talk... Read More
Yankees Haven't Had Extension Talks With Juan Soto
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that the team hasn't had any conversations with recently acquired outfielder Juan Soto about a long-term contract extension. Cashman and the Yankees understand that Soto could only be a short-term acquisition, but even so, the left-handed slugger will make the Bombers much better offensively in 2024. The... Read More
Aaron Judge's Toe Injury "A Resolved Issue"
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge's (toe) injury is "a resolved issue," according to general manager Brian Cashman. "We think it's behind him." Judge never required surgery for a torn ligament in his right big toe that he suffered when he crashed into the outfield wall at Dodgers Stadium on June 4. It was an... Read More
Durham Smythe Misses Practice Thursday
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Thursday. Smythe apparently injured his ankle in the Week 13 win over the Washington Commanders and is now up in the air to play on Monday Night Football in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. Fantasy managers... Read More
De'Von Achane Listed With Ribs Injury
Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane (ribs) was able to practice in full on Thursday, but he was listed with a ribs injury instead of a knee injury that planted him on Injured Reserve earlier in 2023. The 22-year-old third-rounder from Texas A&M was held out in Week 12 as a precaution due to... Read More
Raheem Mostert Sits Out On Thursday
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) was held out of the team's first practice of the week on Thursday, as has become the norm for him this year. Mostert has been getting a veteran rest day early in the week before returning to practice and suiting up on Sundays. Fantasy managers should prepare to... Read More
Tyreek Hill Picks Up DNP In First Practice
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) was listed as a non-participant for the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. The Dolphins gave their best player a veteran rest day, so we should expect Hill to return to practice on Friday and eventually be fine to suit up on Monday Night Football against... Read More
Geno Smith Added To Injury Report With Groin Issue
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (groin) was added to the Week 14 injury report on Thursday due to a groin injury that kept him limited in practice. Mid-week additions to the injury report aren't the greatest of signs, but we'll have a better idea of how serious Smith's groin injury is after the team's practice... Read More
Kenneth Walker III, Zach Charbonnet Limited Thursday
Seattle Seahawks running backs Kenneth Walker III (oblique) and rookie Zach Charbonnet (knee) were both upgraded to a limited practice on Thursday after they didn't take part in Wednesday's practice. Walker has missed the last two games with a moderate oblique strain that he suffered in Week 11, while Charbonnet suffered a bruised knee in... Read More
Tyler Higbee In Danger Of Missing Week 14
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (neck) has yet to practice this week after missing another session on Thursday. Higbee cleared the concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in the Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns, but he's dealing with a stinger that could keep him out of action this coming Sunday... Read More
Puka Nacua Practices Without Limitations Thursday
Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (shoulder) went from being limited in practice on Wednesday to a full participant in Thursday's session. Head coach Sean McVay didn't seem worried about Nacua at all on Wednesday despite the fact that he suffered an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in the Week 13... Read More
DeVante Parker Ruled Out, JuJu Smith-Schuster Active Thursday
New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (knee) has been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Meanwhile, JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) is active and will play. Both players came into the Week 14 contest as questionable. Rookies Demario Douglas (concussion) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) were already ruled out, so a Patriots... Read More
Najee Harris Officially Active Thursday Night
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) is officially active for the Thursday night contest against the visiting New England Patriots. Harris was listed as questionable on the final injury report, but the 25-year-old was expected to play and will be active as the Steelers look to bounce back after a Week 13 loss to... Read More
Kendre Miller Looks Set To Miss Another Game
New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) stayed off the practice field on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Miller hasn't practiced or played since injuring his ankle in Week 10 and looks set to miss yet another contest this Sunday when the team takes on the division-rival Carolina Panthers. The... Read More
Juwan Johnson Stays Limited Thursday
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (quadriceps) stayed limited at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Johnson could end up with a questionable tag on Friday's final Week 14 injury report, but all signs point to him playing in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers. There aren't going to be... Read More
Taysom Hill Absent Again On Thursday
New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback/running back Taysom Hill (foot, hand) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Hill is looking pretty questionable to play this weekend against the Carolina Panthers unless he returns to the practice field on Friday. The 33-year-old Swiss Army Knife had a season-high 13 carries... Read More
Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed Miss Thursday's Practice
New Orleans Saints wide receivers Chris Olave (illness) and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) were both unable to practice on Thursday. Olave has a few days to recover and should be fine to play this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old is the clear No. 1 receiver for the Saints, although he could be a bit... Read More
Derek Carr Practices Again Thursday
Dealing with three separate injuries, New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, rib, shoulder) was able to practice on a limited basis for the second straight day on Thursday. This isn't Carr's first concussion of the year, which makes the fact that he's practicing at all a little surprising. It doesn't mean the 32-year-old will... Read More
C.J. Beathard Puts In Another Limited Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback C.J. Beathard (shoulder) was limited in practice again on Thursday due to a left-shoulder injury. Beathard's shoulder injury isn't something that will keep him sidelined in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns, and there's a pretty good chance he'll be forced to start under center for the Jaguars with Trevor Lawrence battling... Read More
Zay Jones Limited In Practice Again Thursday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) was limited once again in practice on Thursday. Jones' knee injury is probably one that he's going to have to manage throughout the rest of the season after already missing six games in 2023 because of it. He's played the last three games, though, and he managed season-highs... Read More
Travis Etienne Jr. Stays Limited
Jacksonville Jaguars running backs Travis Etienne Jr. (ribs) and D'Ernest Johnson (knee) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Etienne was also listed with a rib injury leading up to the Week 13 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, but he managed to play and... Read More
No Limitations For Noah Brown Thursday
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) put in a full practice on Thursday following a limited session on Wednesday. Brown missed Weeks 11 and 12 with a knee injury but returned in last week's win over the Denver Broncos. He played 81 percent of the offensive snaps but failed to haul in either of... Read More
Dalton Schultz Downgraded At Thursday's Practice
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (hamstring) kicked off practice preparations in Week 14 with a limited practice on Wednesday but was then downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday. It's unclear if the Texans were simply resting Schultz after he didn't play in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos or if he's truly... Read More
Julio Jones Trending In The Wrong Direction
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones (groin) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Jones apparently hurt his groin in the Week 13 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers and may need to sit out this upcoming game on Sunday versus the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. The 34-year-old veteran isn't really... Read More
Another Full Practice For Dallas Goedert
Philadelphia Eagles tight ends Dallas Goedert (forearm), Jack Stoll (knee) and Grant Calcaterra (ankle) all practiced in full and should play in Week 14 in a huge divisional matchup against the rival Dallas Cowboys. Goedert is still on Injured Reserve, but it's likely a formality that he'll be officially activated by Saturday and make his... Read More
